Jimmies Pies at Roxburgh does the bestest mutton pie in the whole of christendom. No joking. They are outstandingly good!

Those new-fangled BP service station/supermarket/coffee places do surprisingly good pies.

Otherwise most are just scalding-hot flaky pastry buckets of TVP and gravy. Don't expect to find any animal protein in a "mince" pie.

[Back Fire]

man... this thread was a bad idea!!! now gremlin is going to find out!! all the pies!! NOOOOOO!! THE HUMANITY, OH GOD SAVE US!!!! HIDE THE PIES!!!

[Karma]

I've said it before, I'll say it again... the pie is ok... but nothing compares to the pudding!

LUXURY! Back when I was young... in South Africa, there was a shop called King's Pies, in Retreat, Cape Town. Their idea of a pie was the usual pastry shape (although a LOT smaller in height and more doughy) with a smearing of meat paste, similar to peanut butter on a sandwich. You'd bite into the low-rider, and get nothing but shitty pastry with a spreading of meat paste (like pate) on the bottom inside of the pie.... :sick: :sick:

I worked at Trisha's pies for almost 2 years. Their pies are made well, good pastry, good filling, good taste all round (although a little pricy). Maybe not number 1 in the great NZ 3.142857142857 book, but a good pie by most standards.

Dave - Trisha's pies have the official seal of approval at our work.

We love them here.

Ignoring the shocking wages (compared to what I earn now), it was real sweet to work where I could get as many free pies as I wanted. People love to get pies as a freebie:yes:

Oh, that's good to hear. I worked at the Coutts St one (Kilbirnie), which was an outlet and the bakery. Kent Terrace (Wgtn City) was an outlet and office and the Petone one was bought after I left.

[Skyryder]

Hilyairs don't know the correct spelling get a good rep down Chch way.

Use to be dairy at Motukarrara on the way to Akaroa that use to sell rabbit pies. This was before the calci virus was introduced. Had not had rabbit pie for yonks.

The pies at the the Blackball Hilton are still famouse

Mind you any pie is good when you are hungary

I won't eat possum pie. Not for no one

Goodtime does a marvellous New York peppered steak pie that I can't resist. And today I had to do a feature on the Rongotea Four Square as it has an instore bakery. They gave me a butter chicken pie to try and I also bought a couple of steak and vege ones to take home for our lunch. The steak ones were very nice! Crisp pastry, big chunks of tender meat (which apparently play havoc with the oldies' teeth, which is why they also sell heaps of Irvines pies!) and carrot, brocolli and baby onions. Worth a stop in there if you are passing.

The butter chicken one was tasty - HEAPS of chicken and spicy sauce, but I still prefer my butter chicken with rice rather than encased in pastry.

[Hitcher]

Hmmmm. Rongotea sounds like a worthy destination for a "Pie Run" some time...

[DEATH_INC.]

Bp thai chicken are my fave, or a keri pies chicken and peach yum!!

[Lias]

I dont know who actually made them, but the steak and cheese pies they used to sell at the kiosk thingy in the wellington railway station were the shit.

This was about 5-6 years ago now so they quite possibly have a different supplier, but the pies were so goddamn good.. I STILL crave them.. They had a distinct zing to them, some sort of spice/pepper I'd imagine but it tasted bloody good. Used to buy 2 every morning for breakfast when i was communting on the trains.

Mr Macs pies in Palmerston North used to be really good, they used to be in Ruahine st by the Hospital, then moved out near memorial park, on the rd to ashurst (I forget its name). I think they may have changed there name these days thou.

Trisha's pies in Kent Tce was a stable food for the month or two I worked at Atech when they were just over the rd. Have to second them being damn good pie.

Sadly I've yet to find any really good pie in Hamilton.. Its all just asian bakeries pumping out generic pies so far :-(

[The_Dover]

Pat's Pantry - Chicken and Kumara.

Mmmmmm......

[Beemer]

Sadly I've yet to find any really good pie in Hamilton.. Its all just asian bakeries pumping out generic pies so far :-(

You're not wrong there - we stopped on our way to Auckland once and bought pies, sandwiches and cakes at an Asian bakery near the racecourse. The pastry was bright yellow and really chewy and the so-called chicken filling was gluggy and tasteless. As for the sandwiches, overchilled white bread and fillings with no discernable taste. Same goes for the cakes - although they had flavour, it just wasn't a nice one!

Sounds like a good plan, Hitcher, although they don't have anywhere you can sit and eat them so it would be a stand and chomp session! (Unless you rode back to our place and sat on the deck - they reheat very nicely in just a few minutes in the oven!)

I prefer home made pies, that way you know whats in them.

Not to keen on fingernails and sticking plasters in my pies.

[Maha]

Hmmmm. A hairdresser's pie.

On the contrary....the taste is vibrant yet subtle on the palate, leaving the most discerning customer wastefully satisfied.......:yes:


Oh yeah..... i see what you mean......:killingme

[WINJA]

Mrs KD.

[WINJA]

Oh Yeah And A Local Pieshop Does Steak And Oyster Pie And The Are Farkin Deleciuos, The Oysters Are Cooked In White Sauce, Im Getting Horny Thinking About It

[Whynot]

The best pie ever is :

Venison, Red wine, bacon & caramelised onion

made by Hillyer's Bakery of Lincoln

purchased from the NZ Steel cafetaria by me.

yum :first:

[gijoe1313]

A good ol'potato top for me - either with cheese or the slice of tomato on top! I used to love making pie sandwiches, bung your fave pie between two slices of bread, extra cheese slices, bacon and an egg! :drool:

All with watties tomato sauce natch, with the steak pies I used to peel the tops off, slug it with H&P sauce and slam the top back on...mmm..mmm goodness...

I still miss Georgie pies, when they closed I was devastated:no: As a student I would order 5 of their $1 pies and just have a whale of a time!

[Harry33]

Yip I miss Georgie Pie as well...$1 pies,fries great stuff. It's a pity McDonalds Brought them out and closed them down.

[Kendog]

I miss Eagle Boys. Ohhh, that's pizza, not pie.
Immmmmmm pie! I used to do the pie sandwich too, until I caught sight of my arse in a mirror:gob: and decided that pie sandwich was off the menu..... FOREVER!! :crybaby: In fact, pie is usually off the menu, but I still love the TF!!
Mrs KD.

[Hitcher]

I still love the TF!!

Mrs KD, you have my full and undivided attention...

[Bussaman]

In the UK i used to work in a pie making shop, the top seller there was a kebab pie.
Unheard of over here but it was basically a kebab in a pastry pie shell.
I also used to weigh 115 kgs of ass and man boobs whilst i was there due to a diet that consisted of kebab pie butties and cream cakes.
In NZ the best pie i have tried has got to be a mince n cheese ponsonby pie.

[WINJA]

Bp thai chicken are my fave, or a keri pies chicken and peach yum!!

YEAH THOSE THAI PIES ARE THE SHIZZLE, I LIKE EVERY THING ABOUT BP THESE DAYS , THE PIES ARE GOOD THE SERVICE IS GOOD THE TOILETS ARE CLEAN AND THEY HAVE 98 AT SOME PUMPS

[Kendog]

Mrs KD, you have my full and undivided attention...

Mr Hitcher, I'm surprised that you don't know the great kiwi tradition of putting TF on everything that once mooved, it's tucker fucker, or nice people like you would know it as, Tomato sauce!:love:
Mrs KD.

[Fatjim]

So Swantiger did call in and see you when he was down that way?....

[SPman]

Muzza's Pies in Royal Oak arn't bad - quite liked the Chillie & Bean one....
His pastry is a bit sharp baked at times, though.

[Fatjim]

You stalking me again? Hows the hand? :p

I'm trying to keep it mobile. Not much luck in keeping it elevated though.
